U.S. Sailors and Marines Drank so Much in Iceland They Caused a Beer Shortage at Bars in the Capital

American service members participating in NATO training exercises in the North Atlantic drank so much they caused a beer shortage at bars in Reykjavik during a stopover in Iceland.

Nearly 7,000 sailors and Marines were in Iceland after Trident Juncture 18, a NATO training exercise in Norway and the surrounding areas of the North Atlantic and the Baltic Sea.
